I had a great big rant all prepared for transhumanism, but I'm going to sum it up this way:
Humanity is already pretty rad. From manned flight to the moon in sixty years, woo! Who needs robot arms? Nobody, goddamnit. Except for, ya know, supervillains and amputees. But they're kind of a small demographic.
EDIT: Upon seeing Ironman, I'm tempted to reverse my position on the topic of robot arms.
